After the end of the contract in 2024, Kang Yeseo and Mashiro will join LIMΞLIGHT (3 member girl group who made their debut on February 17, 2023 with the EP Love & Happiness). LIMΞLIGHT currently consists of members Gaeun, MiU and Suhye, with "TA-DA!" (Posted below) being their latest released MV (JAN 2024?).



Kep1er is a South Korean girl group formed through the Mnet reality competition show "Girls Planet 999" in 2021 and managed by Swing Entertainment and WakeOne.

On paper, they would be active for two years and six months, and have thus far to date released 5 extended plays since, including their debut EP "First Impact" (Released January 3, 2022).

I've not been very consistent in featuring them on TUNESTALK, with my most memorable moments being their tenure on Queendom 2 (because of LOONA, cheers).

Kep1er has just launched their 1st Japanese album "Kep1going" (Released 2024.5.8), with the Highlight Medley featured below, cheers.



But WAIT! Is it niot alkready a "done-deal"? So confusing...! :p

143 Entertainment shares that it has not yet decided if Kang Yeseo and Mashiro will continue their activities with Kep1er.
